I figured out how to run those commands. I was just told by a friend that xfree86 is not a gui. Is that true? I was able to run XFree86 -autoconfig. It brought up a screen and mouse pointer only. I had to shut the computer down. It would not do anything else. If XFree86 is not a gui, what the hell is it? Thank you for your help. I would love to keep in touch as I learn about all of this. My friend tells me to forget about XFree86 and get KDE. What do you think.
